Samsung vs. Apple: Battle for smartphone supremacy

Samsung (005930.KS) and Android operating systems are dominating the global smartphone market share. How critical is 2023 for the smartphone market overall, and is it a make or break year for Apple (AAPL)? IDC Research Director Nabila Popal, ABI Research Research Director David McQueen, and Yahoo Finance tech editor Dan Howley join the Live show to discuss the state of the smartphone market, including the outlook for Apple and Samsung. IDC Research Director Nabila Popal does not foresee anything stopping the dominance of Apple, particularly in the premium smartphone market. Popal said, "Because of the declining market and ongoing success of Apple, it continues to dominate, at least the premium market." ABI Research Research Director David McQueen expressed his opinion on the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Galaxy Z Flip 5 and whether it will help Samsung in the premium smartphone market. McQueen explained, "This is fifth generation now ... it's not really reached out as far and as wide as expected ... it's clearly not resonating as well with the higher-end user."
